Two ballots, but no choice. at Indian
apolis.
TRENTON, n. j., Jan. "a crisil
was reached in the senatorial situation
this afternoon, when the Democratic ma
iority of the assembly, in pursuance o.
their caucus programme. forced a ballot,
A call of the house was made Immediately
upon r~eassembling at 3 O'Clock, and
within a few minutes all members were
in their places, except Throckmorton
Oemocrat). His confreres were not sat
isfied with the reasons given for his abb
sence. Still, the Democrats had thirty
members present to twenty nine Repub-
licans, and they resolved to proceed. The
Republicans failed to secure an adjourn
ment. A motion to proceed to ballot for
United States senator was objected to by
the Republicans as illegal, the require
ment being that q vote should be taken
on the second Tuesday after the organiza-
ton of the Legislature, and the senatorial
half of it was not organized. The Dem
ocrats replied that a failure to organize
was the result of revolutionary methods
by the Republicans and that it was unne-
cessary to discuss the question further.
The house then proceeced to vote on the
question of taking a ballot and it pre-
vailed by the votes of thirty Democrats.
The Republicans (except Hawkinsl re-
fused to vote. Speaker Baird and two
labor men stood with the Republicans.
Governor Leon Albeit was then nom
mated for United States senator and on
roll call he received 80 votes for that
Office. This included all the Democratic
assemblymen except Throckmorton lab
sent and Baird, not voting. None OF
the Republicans or labor men voted.
The record was ordered to be entered on
the assembly Journal, and an adjournment
then took place till ll:30 a. M. to-
morrow, when the Democratic senators
will Join with assembly in formally voting
for Albeit. With nine senators the Dem
ocrats woald have thirty-nine votes, or
two short of the number necessary to
elect. They are hopeful, however, of hav-
ing both Throckmorton and Baird with
them in the final vote. The Republicans
express no anxiety. The senate has ad-
iourned to Friday. They say, however,
that the action of the Democrats is ille-
gal and will o stand. They will persist
in refusing to vote. Tie Democratic
state senators-elect were sworn into Office
BY Senator Livingston in the attorney
generals Office early this afternoon.

The Senate Objects TO Woman
Suffrage.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2j.-Ihe follow
ing is the text of Senator Blair's proposed
amendment to the constitution regarding
woman suffrage.
The rights of citizens Of the United
States to vote shall not be abridged by
the United States or by any state on &C.
count Of sex. Congress shall have power,
by appropriate legislation, to enforce the
provisions of this article.
Mr.. Brown addressed the senate in OPP
position. He said women now exercised
an imperceptible influence in public af-
fairs, much greater than she could if fe-
male suffrage were enacted. 1t might be
a qualification to a small minority of wo-
men, but it would be cruelty to a large
majority of them. The most ignorant
and less refined portion of the female
population Ito say nothing of the baser
%classes) would flock to the polls; while the
refined, intelligent and virtuous women
would stay at home. Thus there would
be a vast preponderance of ignorance and
vice at the polls.
Mr.. Dolph favored the resolution. The
stage of ridicule of the movement was
past. This resolution might not pass,
but the time was not far distant when in
every state and territory, woman would
be admitted to an equal voice in the gov
evernment-whether the federal constitu-
ton be amended or not. No measure in
volving such radical changes in society
had made such great progress as the wo-
mems suffrage movement, since the first
convention in favor of it was held in 1913
at Seneca Falls, \. Y.
Mr.. Eustis inquired of Mr.. Dolph
whether lie did not think, if woman had
the right OF suffrage. she ought to be re-
CURED to serve on %juries.
Mr.. Dolph said that that did not nee
essarily follow. There was no connection
between Jury service and the right of suf-
frage, but in Washington Territory, where
women had the right of suffrage, they
also served on %juries. and to the great
satisfaction Of judges and lawyers.
Mr.. Eustis understood that, under all
the state laws, those duties were consid-
cred co.relativc. He asked whether it
was a decent spectacle to take away the
mother from her nursing infant and keep
her up all night, sitting on a jury?
MIR. Dolph replied that there was moth
ing in the suggestion, because no woman
under such circumstances wonld be re-
quired to serve on a jury. In conclusion.
he said: God speed the day when not
only in all states and territories, but
everywhere women shall stand before the
law freed from shackles riveted on her by
tyranny and by ignorancc-not only in re-
lation to the right OF suffrage, but in re-
lation to every other right"
Mr.. Vest spoke in opposition 10 the
woman's suffrage resolution.
Mr.. Blair made an argument in favor
Of the resolution.
The vote was then taken on the reso.u.
ton, audit was reiected-yeas Ii, nays "a.

PARIS. Jan. 25.-Newspapers Of all

OF inventing and circulating bellicose

English newspaper men are engaged in
this alleged work from pecuniary mo-

declared, will not fall into the trap. She

PROT CARPETS.
Bulgarian Rugs which, Like tho Persian

Bulgarian Rugs which, Like tho Persian,
Rather Improve by Use.
The town of Prot, which formerly
belonged to Bulgaria Tut was handed
over to Servia by the Berlin treaty of
1873, was up to that time the center Of
the Bulgarian carpet trade, and the
place of exchange for weavers and
manufacturers of the district, whose
population is recognized as far ahead
of its neighbors in the Balkan PENN
sula in the artistic manufacture of
wooden articles. This active trade,
however, is entirely broken mp by po-
litical events. and the center of the
Bulgarian carpet trade is now at Cipo-
rovice, within the boundaries of the
principalitv, while Prot, and its carpet
trade in particular. has sunk to utter
insignificance, the Seryian product be-
ing q coarse, undesirable article, which
hardly finds its way across the frontier.
On the other hand, Ciporovice. which
is surrounded by number of villages
entirely occupied by the carpet indus
try, is daily growing in Importance as
the center of the trade.
Notwithstanding the change of place,
however. the name of "Pirot Carpets
has been retained for the particular ar
tcle by the trade as well as the people.
These carpets, or rather rugs. which
are seldom larger than three yards by
two, are entirely made of wool and
goats hair. dyed in the old-fashioned
way with vegetable dye-stuffs. An in
ferior quality. which is dyed with ami
line colors. much cheaper, but also
much less durable than the Ciporovice,
is made at Berkovice. At first sight
they appear equal in brightness of color
and taste of designs, but the wear soon
tells against the Berkovice article. the
genuine article having the quality in
common with Persian carpets that it
rather improves BY use.
In many Bulgarian houses there are
carpets over hundred years old, and
which used to constitute the wealth and
pride of families. which now, finding
themselves in straitened "reminiscences,
and at the same time finding an open
and ready export market, dispose OF
them at pretty high prices

Still. the Bulgarians have an open eye

class of carpets. consisting entirely OF

people of the Balkan Peninsula should

dustry will become thing of the past.
am not sure that our breeders are
not largely to blame. for they have
carried the point of high breeding and
early maturity too far. 1t has not
been entirely their fault either, for the
buyers of pigs have demanded that
they be fat and overgrown. for when a
man pays high price for pig he
wants it to look so well as to impress
his neigbors with its superiority when
they come to see it, and as corn will
make fat cheaper and quicker than any
other food, the pigs to be sold for
breeders have been pushed as fast as
corn could do it, and have been sent
out tit for the block, and the breeder
who did not do this could not compete
with those who did. This system has
been carried on for many generations
until the constitution of the animals
has been weakened, until it invites dis
ease, and when it comes they die OF
like flies. l do not suppose we can
escape disease entirely by attention to
sanitary laws in the rearing of our
pigs, but the risk and loss can be
greatly reduced and possibly in time
the tendency to disease overcome.

One of the Most Neatly Performed and
Audacious Grimes on Record.
One evening when Napoleon l. was
in all his glory there was grand gala
production at the Grand Opera. How
many reigning Kings and Princes oc-
cupied the boxes and balconies it is
impossible for me to estimate; the very
seats usually occupied by the claquers
were filed with noblemen.
The Princess Borghese, the beautiful
and accomplished Pauline, sparkled and
shone in her box. eclipsing all around
her by the splendor of her loneliness,
as the sun does her satellites by the
brilliancy of its-rays. On her neck
she wore a necklace, the diamonds and
massive pearls Of which, intertwined
and blended with transcendent art,
still further ENLARGED her incompatible
brilliancy.
The imperial box opened in its turn,
and the master of the world appeared,
saluted by these Kings and Princes
with a formidable cry Of 'Viye rEm-
pereurr' 1t was generally remarked
that the Empress seemed unable to
take her eyes off her sister-in-law and
appeared to be fascinated. dazzled, like
the other occupants of the vast audi
torium, with the marvellous briIliancy
of the necklace. Suddenly the box Of
the Princess Borghese opened, and
young Major presented himself, wear
ing the brilliant blue and silver uni
form of the aides-de camp of the EN-
peror's staff. Her Majesty, the EN-
press" said he, bowling low, '.admires
the wonderful necklace worn by your
Imperial Highness. and has expressed
the liveliest desire to examine it closer"
The beautiful Pauline made sign to
one of her ladies of honor, who un-
clasped and detached the necklace
from the Princess neck and placed it
in the hands of the staff officer. The
latter bowed gravely and disappeared.
This episode occurred toward the mid
die of the second act. The fourth act
came and passed, and the entertain
ment concluded. yet still the necklace
was not returned.
The Princess Borghese took this for
a characteristic freak of Maria Louise's.
Next day, however, she asked if the
necklace had pleased the Empress, and
whether she had found the setting and
arrangement of the jewels to her taste.
The Empress was thunderstruck, for
she had not seen it and had sent no
officer for it as described. Napoleon
deigned to mix himself up in the affair.
He had the names of all the staff off,

under some pretext or other, he had

q few of which may still be met with,
was the United States Treasury twenty
dollar bill. 1t was considered danger
Gus. The counterfeits of late years are
much better, being made by the photo
graphic pen and ink process. One of
the most dangerous Ihave ever seen
was presented last week. 1t was ten
dollar National Bank of Richmond.
Ind. 1t had no particular peculiarities,
except what is peculiar to all counter
feits-bad lathe work. They succeed
in shading the letters, but the fine
scroll work they can not accomplish.
They are unable to get the fiber or put
the silk thread in the paper. In some
counterfeits, almost perfect, the APP
parently silk thread would prove to be
only ink. Silver counterfeits are all
alike, with dark. leaden look. They
all have greasy feeling. and can be
detected by feeling only. with the eyes
shut. Gold is the most dangerous to
handle, chiefly from light weight.
Some fifteen years ago twenty dollar
gold piece appeared with ring. but
very light. Atthat time experts claimed
that gold piece could not undergo
any manipulations and retain the ring.
Upon investigation it was found that
the light piece had been split by some
dine process, the gold scooped out Of
the center and replaced with melted
glass, and the halves put together
again. Many other ways Of taking
from the weight and retaining the
sound might be given. So. you see,
